Red Split Lentil and Chickpea patties (Vegan, GF)

My last post for a while this one is, because in a week’s time I’ll be heading to Nicaragua for three months – which I will most definitely write about once I’m back – or more regularly if I have internet access. For the send off, I am giving you red lentil and chickpea patties. Red lentils because it was another challenge of Cypressa‘s and Chickpeas because I realised everyone was waiting for these patties to be finished so they could eat; meaning I needed to make more than I had planned for. This recipe made me 20 patties.

Lentils from Cypressa

Ingredients

1 white onion, finely diced (should I do a tutorial on how to do this?)

When the lentils are cooked, add them and the drained and rinsed chickpeas to a large mixing bowl

Use a potato masher to crush and combine the chickpeas and lentils. Add all other ingredients apart from the cooking oil and fresh lemon

Mix and combine all ingredients and use your hands to create patties of your size. Do not make them too large or they won’t cook through properly

Heat a pan with oil on a medium heat and begin cooking 2-3 patties at a time, turning to cook for 7 minutes on either side

Serve with fresh lemon and parsley. I made burgers out of mine with salad, pitta and hummus.

Vegan Patties

These patties were very well received by the whole family. They have everything you need too – protein, carbs, fats, vegetables etc so this is a really stand-out, wholesome meal for the whole family. It’s also cheap and very quick!
